PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

More physical releases roll onto the Vita

Looks like Eastasiasoft will release anything with a pulse in the Vita's final year. While I'm sure Pachi Pachi on a Roll and The Lost Cube are fun little digital titles, can't say I'll be racing to pre-order them. That said, anything that helps boost the profile of developers and publishers like Red Mount, Dolores and Jandusoft, plus the others still bringing games our way has to be good. 

Both titles are limited to 1,000 copies and will arrive in March. Pre-orders go live this week on February 11th. There's the usual bundle of the game card, manual, CD soundtrack and numbered certificate, all for US$34.99 + shipping.


In Pachi Pachi On A Roll, professional thieves Fujiko and Robin set out to ruin the casinos of Money City. These lovely ladies are ready to risk it all (their clothes included) to pull off their biggest hustle yet. Blending elements of pinball with pachinko inspirations, Pachi Pachi On A Roll spans 32 unique missions across 4 major venues. Take down giant UFOs, slay dragons, rob a train and go for the highest scores possible, all amidst naughty stripping mechanics to make the action even spicier! Animated character portraits, a variety of minigames and an energetic soundtrack combine for a feverishly good time.


The Lost Cube draws inspiration from modern platformer classics like Super Meat Boy and Celeste. Set in a small village in Northern Europe, the story revolves around Ulrik’s quest to retrieve a magical cube that has the power to restore prosperity to the land. As Ulrik, you’ll need to jump and dodge your way through environmental hazards while avoiding enemies across more than 60 levels. You have no weapons, only your agility and cunning to keep you alive.
